Description
The Rinnai Infinity Sideways Flue
Diverter is an accessory that can
be fitted to an external Rinnai
continuous flow water heater. It
is designed to expel combustion
products in a sideways direction.
Specific applications
Noise reduction, in particular with
larger Infinity models where the unit
is positioned close to a neighbouring
property.
Where there may be an obstruction
such as a tree, fence wall or other
structure, that even though the
Infinity is installed with the required
clearances, will perform more
efficiently if the flue gases are cleared
away from the obstruction.
Where clearance to an openable
window or other building structure is
tight, the clearance shifts to the point
of discharge (close to the edge of the
water heater case).
Suitability
- Externally mounted Rinnai
Infinity continuous flow water
heaters NOT installed in a recess
box
- External SINGLE water heater
applications only
- Balconies, patios, or other
enclosed areas where all flue
products are expelled FREELY
into an above open-air situation
with natural ventilation, without
stagnant areas, where products
of combustion are rapidly
dispersed by wind and natural
convection
